Professor W. Stewart Hillis, OBE MB FRCP FRCS DipSEM FISM FFSEM UK
Presented by
Dr John MacLean MBChB MRCGP DRCOG FFSEM UK
Professor Stewart Hillis' obituary in the BMJ rightly called him a pioneer of Sport and Exercise Medicine. Born in Clydebank near Glasgow, he embarked on an early career as a cardiologist with a passion for football. His understanding of the benefits of exercise in the prevention and treatment of disease predated the general acceptance of physical inactivity as a major risk factor. Professor Hillis was educated at Glasgow University and Vanderbilt University in Nashville Tennessee he was a Scottish football team doctor for 37 years attending three World Cups and two European Championships.
Professor Hillis developed the first anti-doping programme in football and his passion to drive forward standards resulted in his appointment as Vice Chair of UEFA's medical committee where he served 24 years. Professor Hillis was a founding member of the intercollegiate academic board, integral to the creation of the Scottish Diploma Examination in Sport and Exercise Medicine, the forerunner of the FSEM's national Diploma Exam. He was a longstanding and committed member of the FSEM Council, Chair of the Education Committee and a member of the Examinations Committee and represented the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow on the Specialist Advisory Committee.
With a great passion for education, Professor Hillis set up the first BSc Degree in SEM in the UK and was one of the longest running Masters at Glasgow University where his contribution was recognised by being appointed Professor of Cardiovascular and Exercise Medicine in 1997. He was the inspiration behind the Sports Medicine Centre at Hampden, set up the cardiac screening programme in young athletes in conjunction with the Scottish Government and Glasgow University and increased standards for both the facilities and care of players within Scottish Football, including early provision of defibrillators in football grounds.
Professor Stewart Hillis was a medical pioneer, academic and hands on cardiologist recognised by his peers with the Sir Robert Atkins prize and Sir Roger Bannister award for his outstanding contribution to SEM. Stewart was awarded a OBE for his services to cardiology and sport and exercise medicine by Her Majesty The Queen at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in 2010.
Professor Stewart Hillis OBE died on the 21st July 2014 on the eve of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and will be remembered for his outstanding achievements, warm sense of humour and as a gifted communicator with patients, students and colleagues.
CONFERMENT OF HONORARY FELLOWSHIP
Dr Michael Turner MBBS MD (Washington, USA) FFSEM UK FFSEM(RCPI/RCSI Ire)
Presented by
Dr Charlotte Cowie MBBS DipSEM DipMskMed FFSEM UK
Dr Michael Turner has had a remarkable career in Sport and Exercise Medicine. Having gained his medical qualification in 1970 from St Thomas’ Hospital Medical School, Dr Turner's first role within sport was Chief Medical Adviser to the British Ski Federation, which he undertook whilst pursuing a career in Occupational Medicine within a number of large corporations.
As his career developed, Dr Turner's interest in sport grew and by 1989, he had become the Deputy Director of Medical Services at the British Olympic Association (BOA) and sat on the medical committee of the International Ski Federation. Dr Turner then became the Director of Medical Services to the BOA.
Dr Turner has a long association with Horseracing medicine, which started with his audit of medical services for the Jockey Club (now the British Horseracing Authority) and fostered his broader interest in concussion. As a result of this initial collaboration, Dr Turner was appointed Chief Medical Adviser to the Jockey Club in 1993 and remained as CMA to the British Horseracing Authority until 2013. During his 20 years’ service in Horseracing, he oversaw radical changes to the way that immediate care is delivered at British racecourses.
Now Chief Medical Adviser to the Lawn Tennis association, Dr Turner is a stalwart of the team which surrounds both Andy Murray and the British Davis Cup team.
During this time he has published over 35 articles in peer-reviewed journals, contributing to a wide variety of committees and organisations, speaking at sports medicine conferences all over the world and has been instrumental in the shaping and development of BASEM as an organisation.
Dr Michael Turner has recently extended his interest in concussion in sport, becoming the Medical Director of The International Concussion and Head Injury Research Foundation. Dr Turner’s contributions to the specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine are too many to list individually in this context, however they are accompanied by a capacity for military-level organisation, an enduring desire to develop colleagues and share his experience and an indefatigable sense of humour. .

The Faculty was officially launched in 2006 and is an intercollegiate faculty of the Royal College of Physicians of London and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
Sport and Exercise Medicine (SEM) has a long history - in the Ancient Greek Olympic Games a Doctor was always one of the officials. Herodicus, one of Hippocrates’ Tutors, pioneered therapeutic exercise as a treatment of disease and maintenance of good health in the 5th Century BC. Galen, who looked after the gladiators in the 2nd Century AD, was probably the first Team Doctor.
The need for SEM as a specialty started during the 20th Century, particularly after the Second World War. More doctors were involved in looking after sports teams; going to the Olympic Games and other competitions, working as venue doctors, and, in the case of Martial Arts and other sports, assessing whether a participant could continue with the competition. Doctors were also involved in the creation of sports injury clinics both private and NHS.
Most of the work was done originally by volunteer doctors who had a special interest in Sport and Exercise Medicine, although they had trained in general practice and many other specialties. The 20th Century also included the development of educational programs in SEM - athletes progressively sought advice from such doctors, not only with regards to treatment of their injuries, but also in terms of training and other aspects of their preparation.
The 1986 Commonwealth Games in the UK was a great stimulus to the development of Sport and Exercise Medicine. Three Scottish Medical Colleges established a Board of Sport Medicine, which defined a syllabus and established a Diploma Examination. This became widely accepted as a safe standard of practice for doctors providing medical services to sports. At the same time, the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries developed an examination and a number of Universities established courses and diplomas.
In 1995 the establishment of a Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine was proposed by the Institute of Sports Medicine (now The Institute of Sports and Exercise Medicine). This included the education of medical practitioners in SEM and establishing the standards of competence. Their proposals and recommendations were rejected by the Conference (subsequently the Academy) of Medical Royal Colleges and their Faculties. In 1996 this position was reviewed, which lead to the development of the Intercollegiate Academic Board for Sport & Exercise Medicine (IABSEM) established in 1998. Its first task was setting and monitoring the clinical standards and establishing the Diploma Examination for the UK and Ireland. The Scottish Royal Colleges and the Society of Apothecaries generously gave up their Examination. The UK Diploma Examination in Sport and Exercise Medicine continues to be held each year.
The 21st Century saw the development of Government Policies to improve health and promote sporting excellence. In February 2005 the Department of Health recognised Sport & Exercise Medicine as a specialty and, during that year, Parliament amended the Specialist Medical Order, creating the new specialty of Sport and Exercise Medicine.
In 2006 the Faculty of Sport & Exercise Medicine (FSEM) was launched. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges agreed that IABSEM could develop into FSEM as an intercollegiate faculty of the Royal College of Physicians of London and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. The Faculty then set about establishing the new speciality. It developed a higher specialty training programme and a curriculum that was accepted in 2010 by the GMC/PMETB. The methods of assessment include the Diploma in Sport and Exercise Medicine which is run by the Faculty. The training programme is of eight years duration, the first two years being spent as Foundation Doctors, two years Core Training and the last four years as Registrars in Sport and Exercise Medicine. The Diploma of Sport and Exercise Medicine (UK and Ireland) entry to training is via CMT ACCS or GPVTS training. The Faculty created Memberships [MFSEM UK] and Fellowships [FFSEM UK] and the first Diplomates ceremony was held in September 2007.
Today the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine sets the standards in SEM and oversees research, training, curriculum and assessment of all SEM doctors. We have over 560 Members and Fellows, not including medical students.
The Faculty has a Memorandum of Understanding with the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine BASEM to harmonise educational efforts. The Council of the Faculty consists of the elected officers, elected members, representatives of the parent colleges, as well as lay representatives and new consultant and trainee representatives.
